Phase Two is a very serviceable and budget-friendly build. Your main priority is to reduce your fixed cast time, and your second priority will be increasing your tankiness. <br> Abilities will have a specific Fixed Cast Time and Variable Cast Time. For Imperial Guard, 1.5s Fixed Cast Reduction should be enough for the majority of your skills.

Fixed Cast Time can be reduced by equipment (Most often through Shoes, Costume Enchant Stones, Accessories, and Higher Level Headgear).<br>

Variable Cast Time should be reduced by cast time. However, due to the strength of {{#skill:2325}}, you will want to go for VCT through stats. The formula to calculate your Variable Cast Time Reduction is 1 -((1-((Int + (Dex*2))/530)) * (1 - Bonus VCT from gear)). <br>

At Level 160, you will have access to [[Illusion_of_Luanda| Illusion of Luanda's Goibne Gear]]. The Full Goibne combo is a powerful combo that provides a lot of HP and .7s FCT reduction. For FCT reduction, you can also use {{#item:1000616}} for .5s FCT reduction and the sinful combo for .3s or .5s FCT reduction.<br>

For all of the Illusion Goibne gear, you will want to enchant them with double {{#item: 29010}}{{#item: 29010}} and upgrade them to +11 for a big boost in HP.

This is the more expensive, end-game option for Devo IG. This is a big jump from the previous phase. In this phase, you should feel comfortable Devoing in the most difficult instances.

{{#item:470073}} is great, but you will need to make sure you have enough FCT. It provides less HP, but the buff will almost double your HP. I recommend using {{#skill:2308}} to proc the buff.
